PAARRTTYY VIDEO!!! Worn to be Wild at Vs Social Standard in Uptown MPLS was needless to say…WILD! If you need proof, here’s the video – eye muff the kids, there’s some partial nudity
We sold alot of the new stuff at the party but hurry in to Vs to see what’s left. We apoligize in advance if your size is sold out already! We’re doing what we can to keep up. Email us to make requests for reprints
Thank you MPLS!!! For making our event at Vs Social Standard in Uptown a big success. Thanks to everyone who attended and everyone who worked with us to make it happen. The place was packed for most of the evening, then the dance floor got crazy. The beverages flowed, the djs rocked, and we sold a big chunk of our new line. Run…don’t walk, to VS in Uptown to see what’s left and going fast.
Join Anthem Heart and several other top poster designers in the Twin Cities at the Black Dog Cafe in St. Paul on Friday, August 29th to celebrate Poster Offensive 4. Coinciding with the 2008 GOP Convention in St. Paul, Poster Offensive is a non-partisan poster show dedicated to the promotion of peace and democracy. Plus, if the last three shows are any indication it will be a wild party.
Ken created an amazing poster which is a 5-color homage to Warhol’s portrait of Richard Nixon with “Vote McGovern” scrawled at the bottom. Instead of writing the corresponding “Vote Obama” at the bottom of our portrait, we decided to appropriate and incite the chant of “4 More Years!” to illuminate the obvious continuum of the devastating Bush years, through the election of McCain. If you liked Bush, vote McCain!
We also helped our friend Robb Harskamp print his sweet poster!
Our poster and a few others were displayed on KARE 11 this evening in a segment about the show opening this weekend. Sorry about the crappy video quality. I only have rabbit ears at home
The show itself opens August 15th and runs through September 9th with the opening reception and party on the 29th. After that it will travel to this side of the river and be at the Frank Stone Gallery on October 3rd through October 12th with an opening reception and party on October 3rd.
